public interface Task extends org.djutils.base.Identifiable
Interface for tasks, where each describes a fundamental relation between exogenous inputs causing a mental task demand. The concept of anticipation reliance can be included, which is a reduction of mental task demand by prioritizing a primary task and relying more on anticipation regarding secondary tasks. Control over the amount of anticipation reliance is implementation dependent, but is typically not part of the task itself.
